Trying not to say anything.

"I try not to say anything with my art," the Artist Statement began. To which I laughed, because that's not the kind of thing one ought to admit to in an Artist Statement, not if one wants to be taken seriously.

And yet, I approach art in the very same way, which is why I have never considered myself to be an artist. I don't care so much about "saying something." If that means that I will never be called an artist, that's quite alright. Because it doesn't matter what lofty title I go by (or not), I will keep learning and keep creating; in the end all I really care about is offering a bit more beauty to those around me.
